Dear Friend,

Government should serve and be representative of people, not big
corporations. Instead, large donors now dominate elections in the United
States, silencing the voices of average Americans and making government
unresponsive to the people’s needs.

Vast majorities of the American people want the government to lower drug
prices, raise the minimum wage, protect the planet, deliver health care to
all, and accomplish so much more, but action is stalled because those
demands conflict with the interests of a corporate class superpowered by
the Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission decision, which opened
the floodgates to corporate spending in elections. With more than 800
cities and 20 states -- representing 141 million Americans -- calling for
a federal constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United, the
movement now has overwhelming popular support, and we need your support to
push this forward.

Call your U.S. representative at 1-866-937-7983 and urge them to overturn
Citizens United.

On June 6, New Hampshire became the 20th state to call on Congress to pass
a constitutional amendment to address the harm caused by the Supreme
Court’s Citizens United v. FEC decision and related cases. New Hampshire
joins 19 other states and more than 800 localities across the country that
have passed similar resolutions and other actions since 2010.

The United States government needs to be responsive to the people, not to
corporations and special interests. That’s why we need to overturn
Citizens United. To do so, we’ll have to take on the billionaires who want
democracy to remain an auction and urge Congress to act.

Tell your member of Congress at 1-866-937-7983 to ensure our government
works for the people, not corporations.

Yours in the fight for democracy,

Mai, along with Analeeza, Annie, Brenna, Caitlin, Deepthi, Diego, Eddie,
Gabby, Lindsay, Mary, Molly, Raquel, and Scottie (the Courage Campaign
team)
